Your focus should be on our abdominal area, and you should ‘imagine’ your diaphragm going downwards and flattening outwards as you expel the air from your body. You would also notice that your abdominal area will expand sideways slightly when you use more force to create the loud ‘SSSS’ sound. This will teach your muscles to be able to withstand more tension, and also to vary the tension from a soft sound to a loud sound.

Our 2nd advanced breathing exercise will combine basic breathing exercise 3 with exercise 1, beginning with 3 bouncy and light ‘ssss’ sounds, and ending with the sustained ‘ssss’ sound, keeping it there for as long as you can sustain it for. Try it now!

This exercise will teach your diaphragm and its related muscles to be more flexible, and yet be able to maintain tension at the end with the sustaining ‘ssss’ sound, and also to control the amount of breath in your ‘air tank’ or ‘air balloon’, so as to be able to sustain a long ‘ssss’ sound at the end.

Our 3rd and final advanced breathing exercise will combine basic breathing exercise 3 (for flexibility), with advanced breathing exercise 1! (Now, don’t get confused.. just follow my instructions and you will be fine..)

Begin with 3 bouncy and light ‘ssss’ sounds, followed by a sustained but soft ‘ssss’ sound, then gradually increase the volume of the sound to a LOUD ‘SSSS’ sound, expelling all your breath at the end of this exercise!

Try it now!

The purpose of this exercise is to teach your muscles to be flexible, and yet also to be able to sustain and towards the end, create greater tension to expel all remaining air, even when you have already used up much of your breath for the beginning part of the breathing exercise!

This is why you need to fully understand the previous basic breathing exercises before you practise these more advanced breathing control techniques!
